Booked by 1 family in Arvada, CO

I recently relocated to Colorado from Texas with my husband, following the successful sale of my business. As a mother of four grown children and seven grandchildren, I possess a depth of life experience, I'm eager to emphasize that I'm still young and enthusiastic about the opportunities that lie ahead. Throughout my life, I've been driven by a passion for caregiving, which has encompassed a range of roles, from neighborhood babysitting to supporting my mother with MS and my grandfather after his stroke. I'm excited to offer my services, which encompass a broad spectrum of responsibilities, including household management, cooking, cleaning, and errands. My true passion, however, lies in caring for children, where I can nurture and support their development through engaging activities such as reading, games, and outdoor pursuits. I'm also deeply passionate about nature, wildlife, and gardening, and I take great joy in sharing these interests with my grandchildren and others. With my extensive domestic skills, life experience, and heartfelt approach, I'm confident in my ability to provide exceptional care to your loved ones.

“Jennifer was great with our daughter! Very communicative and would highly recommend!”

Madison $28 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I’m Madison, a Colorado native with 10 years of childcare experience working with children ranging from infants to teenagers. I’ve supported many families during the summer, throughout the school year, and on an as-needed basis, adapting to each child’s needs and household routines. During my nannying roles with infants and younger children, I’ve provided attentive, hands-on care including diapering, bottle feeding, and nap/bedtime routines. I’m very comfortable with stroller walks and creating a calm, safe environment with age-appropriate play that supports each child’s development. While nannying for families with school-aged children I planned engaging activities, managed pick-ups and drop-offs, prepared meals, played outside, helped with homework, and kept daily schedules organized. I have worked with several childcare programs, including Balarat, where I led a group of preschool and elementary students on a mountain trip. I facilitated activities designed to promote learning, collaboration, and personal growth. I also worked with a childcare program at Children’s Hospital, supporting young children during extended hospital stays. My primary role was to keep the children engaged through stimulating activities, including crafts, dress-up, video games, board games, and a variety of educational exercises across different school subjects. I am an enthusiastic, patient, and warm caregiver who truly enjoys spending time with children. I am CPR and Heimlich maneuver certified, and I always approach childcare with safety and a positive attitude.

Olivia $30 per hour for 1 child

I am a Colorado local from Lafayette. I have been working with children in a professional setting since I was 16 years old. I was a nanny for a family for 4 summers in high school into college, then for another family for 2 summers while in college. I worked as a Preschool teacher for 2 years post-college graduation and also as a Site Director for an after-school program for 2 years as well. I also am a professional figure skater and coach children for private/group lessons. I have extensive training with children ages 0-12 along with Red Cross medical training. I also worked with Disney as a character for multiple years! I currently am a graduate student for Child Psychology at Regis University and am looking for a full-time nanny position with a consistent family while I am in school. My classes are at night so I am available Monday-Friday during regular working hours.

I am BLS, AED, and CPR trained. I have been working with kids professionally since I was 14 but I have babysat my brother before that. I love working with children seeing how creative they are and how much energy and laughter they have makes me love babysitting. I eventually want to go back to school to major in pediatric nursing.

"Johanna is AMAZING! My two boys love her - she does everything from amazing arts & crafts, to helping with homework, to getting them playing outside! She also drives them and does everything involved with after school activities: packing snacks, getting the right gear, etc."

"When we hired Amani, we felt like we hit the jackpot. We were very lucky to find her on UrbanSitter at the beginning of school year. She was picking up kids from school, taking them to afternoon activities, helping them with assignments. She prepped food for them, helped organize their closets and keep their spaces neat and orderly. We would hire her again in a heartbeat."
